Comptroller Trenholm Thinks There Is No

Washington Special.
Mr.. Trenholm, Comptroller of the Currency.
said to- day that there was no sort of danger of a
panic or monetary stringency, and he did not
think there were any serious apprehensions of
that kind, although there was a little talk to
that effect. There was an ample supply of cur
rency, and il was not being locked up in the
Treasury and was not likely to be. Mr.. Tren-
holm remarked that the country was in pros
porous condition; that there was no boom, and
nobody making phenomenal profits but
there had been little or no overtradiug, and the
regular business of the country was being done
at a fair profit and things were going ahead. Six
or eight months ago he noticed the first signs of
prosperity. They We're in reports from re-
ceivers Of suspended national banks, who began
to observe tendency on the part Of old debtors
of the banks and men against whom the banks
HAD long held unsatisfied judgments to settle up.
That indicated that these men were beginning to
make money and get some property. and felt not
only able to pay what they owed, but that it was
for their own interest to get these old claims
against them paid. A little later the receivers
began to report that property the banks in their
charge held, and which had long been unstable,
could be disposed OF or Inquiries were being
made about it, and the receivers hoped soon to
ind purchasers, and later still came reports from
the receivers that they had been able to realize
on country property All these things were evil
dences that men were making money and were
feeling surer of the future and satisfied him
that the business of the country was on q good
footing. Something more than thirty bank ex-
aminers and bout the same number of receivers
of suspended banks are constantly reporting to
the Comptroller the condition of business in
their sections. and the establishments Of new

The Books of the Firm Disappear-The De-

NEW YORK March Is AT the Office OF Walter
e. Lawtor, of the Navassa Fertilizer Company
No. 81 Broadway, this morning the place was
besieged with excited creditors. They could not
get much information. as the chief books of the
firm had disappeared. Deputy Sheriff John
Pritchard was IN charge Book keeper Rufus
Y. Kirkland, partner of Lawton, is making an
examination Of the affairs Of the ASCENDING
debtor, whose defalcations will amount to more
than half a million. President Booth. of the
Third National Bank. said. this morning, that
they had only lost Sc. 500. and that amount was
on returned checks His bank always had a
third indorser on Lawton's paper, and that had
saved them. The deputy sheriffs are still in
charge of the office Of Lawton Bros. repre-
sentative Of Barelew s. Wetmer called to-day to
collect on check Endorsed by Lawton Bros.
The amount was $1,000 The deputy sherifs re-
fused to allow anyone to open the safVexcept on

yer Van Wycks action was brought in good
faith, but that the attachments OF President
Jones' of the Delta Actin Company, and Rufus
NJ. Kirkland. as president of the Chemical Am
moniate and OIL Company, are merely to secure
themselves ahead of others. The two are said
to be on intimate terms with Lawton and inter-
ested with him in these and other companies.

state that the only way Lawton could affect the

his name as the treasurer to sign papers. The

Money Spent In Opposing One Bill.
LONDON, March 18-The parliamentary COM
mittee appointed to investigate the charges
against the London corporation held its first
session to-day Lord Harrington presiding. Mr..
Firth, formerly member of Parliament, de-
posed that he had examined the accounts of the
corporation. He found that special committee
had been appointed in 1882 to oppose the reform
BILL and that there was expended by the COM
mittes a total of $4,000 He said that, prac-
tically, the city accounts had never
been audited, Notwithstanding the fact
that the corporation employed so-calleG
auditors who, the witness added. were livery
men, without practical knowledge of their du
ties. Meetings held in support of the reform
bill were raided by rouehs who had been sup
piled with thousands of forged tickets of admis-
sion by corporation officials
A man named Hodge made an affidavit that he
had been engaged to bribe roughs to break UP
reform meetings.
Mr.. Scott, city chamberlain, being sworn. pre-
sented written official protest against the pro-
duction Of the corporations accounts, on the
ground that the House of Commons exceeded its
rights in demanding the accounts, and acted in
q manner derogatory to the rights and privileges
of the corporation.

CURING CONSUMPTION.
Alleged Success of French Method Now in
Use in Philadelphia Hospital

PHILADELPHIA March lS.-At the meeting Of
the hospital committee of the board Of guardians
of the poor, to-day DR.. T. N. Mclaughlin, ply
stefan in-chief of the Philadelphia Hospital, pre-
sented a report Of the success of the treatment
adopted about month ago for patients in the
institution suffering from consumption. He
said that 80 far the success of the treatment was
almost marvellous, and in the cases which agreed
to submit to the methods adopted no other has
been used. DR. Mclaughlin first obtained the
idea from = paper read before the Col
leee of Science at a recent meeting
in Paris, by one of the professors in the Univer
sity of Lyons. 1t was recommended so highly.
and had shown such surprising results in
France. that DR.. Mclaughlin decided to test it
in the hospital. He explained the treatment to
the patients, when thirty of them
agreed to submit to the operation.
To these patients, who were consid-
cred to be suffering from the last stages of
sumption, two rectal injections of carponic
acid gas, prepared by the process given
by the French physician were given each day,
all medicine being abandoned. The patient at
| night sweats ceased as if by magic, the almost
| constant pains from which they suffered van
| ished, the excretions of the body were regular
| and became natural, and the appetite returned
| The sick grew brighter and stronger
each day. and since the beginning
| of the treatment one of the number
has gained twelve pound. in weight while
others have gained from three to five pounds in
| the same time. How far the improvement will
| continue under the treatment cannot yet be
judged, but the results have been SO satisfactory
| that DIR. Mclaughlin has abandoned all other
remedies in the treatment of patients who can
be induced to submit to the operation, and he is
SO agreeably surprised at the results that he
feels almost ready to saw that cure for con.
sumption, which has ALWAYS been considered
| fatal when once developed, has been found.

THE CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.
Ii the Lower Court Is Sustained They Cannot
Be Hanged Before October.

OTTAWA, ILL.,. March Estates Attorney
Grinnell made his argument before the Supreme
Court in the Anarchist case to-day He said at
the start that it would be strange IT, in case of
such great length. a few errors had not crept in.
but the court would find that no errors had oc-
Cured sufficient to warrant the granting Of
new trial. Justice had not been obstructed or
interfered with in the slightest degree in the
progress of the trial. The case involved the in
tegrity of the Constitution and the very stabll-
ity of the government Anarchy was on trial,
and there was use in denying it. He then
reviewed the testimony to prove the facts Of a
conspiracy.
Attorney general Hunt followed and confined
himself to expounding the law of conspiracy
and contending that under the evidence the de-
PENDANTS were absolutely convicted of murder.
Speaking of the possibilities in relation to a
decision in the Anarchist case, Judge Schofeld,
OF the Supreme Court. said that in case of
versal and the ordering of q new trial, the
opinion of the court would be sent hero and
would be- made public soon as it arrived, bnt
the public will not be apprised of the fact until
the court meets again at Ottawa, which
will be in September next. In case of afirma-
ton the court must fix the date of execution,
and DO ID IN open court and In the district IN
which the case belongs. The court will adjourn
its session here next week, and it is, of course,
impossible for the court to examine the bulky
record and return opinion before adjourn
ment 1t follows that it will be impossible for
the Anarchists to be hanged before next fall
The sentence cannot be affirmed and day Of ex-
ecution set before the first Tuesday in Septem-
Der. About month would doubtless be al
lowed between the affirmation and the day of ex-
ecution. The Reds. therefore. need have no
fear OF being hanged before October. Judge
Scott is expected to return from California
about April l, and he will participate in decid-
ing the case. Since the arguments have been
made the prevailing opinion here seems to be that
the verdict in the court below will be sustained
by the Supreme Court.
Mr.. SWEET returned to Chicago at o'clock.
The other counsel will return in the morning.
Lawyer Solomon says he has not been notified
that the Anarchist defense committee has de-
cded to drop him, and that he intends to go on
attending faithfully to whatever he can do in
behalf Of his clients. It seems that quiet
agreement has been made to let the trouble rest
until the parties get back to Chicago. Wha,
will be done then is only a matter Of surInise
It is thought not unlikely that general shaking
I'D will occur, and that new counsel will be en-
gagged for the Anarchists.
